Gong, H. Li, and D. Luo for the Euclidean case. Our results further generalize the results achieved for the Laplacian by S. Seto, L. Wang, and G. Wei, as well as by C. He, G. Wei, and Qi S. Zhang. The essential ingredient in our analysis is the reflection coupling method on Riemannian manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-04T13:35:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fundamental gap problems", "probabilistic method", "probabilistic proof", "fundamental gap estimate", "convex domains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
